England midfielder James Milner hopeful of World Cup place

Manchester City midfielder James Milner plans to be one of Roy Hodgson's 23 England squad members at the World Cup this summer.

"Hopefully I'll be going to the World Cup finals… That's the plan. It'll be an amazing stage to play on and I'd love to go but you get there by playing good football for your club. I'll do that as well as I can and hopefully it will get me on the plane."

"It's got a few followers now, hasn't it?" Milner joked. "It's a bit of fun and I've read a few of the tweets. If people think I'm boring, well, as long as I've got a Premier League winners' medal I don't really mind being as boring as you want."
